Pecchenino

Fresh ruby red colour with violet reflections. Refined aroma of rose petals, roasted herbs, elderberry and small red berries. Fleshy, drinky flavour of stewed fruit, very fresh and supple tannins. Long finish with great Italian personality. SUPERIORE.DE

"Aromatic and fruity, this red exhibits blackberry, raspberry and violet flavors, with vibrant acidity and a light coating of tannins on the lingering finish." Wine Spectator

"Aromas of smoky black fruits and cherries. Full of primary fruit with bright acidity, very balanced, good texture with mouth-filling flavours of bitter plums. Excellent drinkability." Decanter

"Notes of fresh raspberries and spiced plums with liquorice, aniseed and dried flowers. Medium-bodied, smooth and supple with a silky finish. Pleasant and attractive." James Suckling

Pale straw yellow in colour. Dense and linear with concentrated flavours of citrus fruit, white peach and a nice hint of bitter almond. A fresh and very attractive white wine that promises plenty of good humour and a high enjoyment factor. SUPERIORE.DE

"Pretty and lifted aromas of preserved lemons, white flowers and spice delicately welcome you to this Chardonnay. Driven by mixed orchard fruit on the palate with an impressive texture that is not creamy but gives the wine weight and strucutre while remaining bright and crisp. A balancing act that is worth your time." Wine Enthusiast

The Barbera Quass from the hills of the Langhe DOC has enormous concentration and depth. Dark berries, flowers, cloves and leather on the nose, lots of spicy cherry fruit on the palate, articulate and structured, with a soft core of blackberry and exuberant acidity. Very appealing! SUPERIORE.DE

The aromas of dark cherry, plum, smoke, leather, spices and menthol are supported by wonderfully juicy blackcurrant, clove, tobacco and aniseed on the palate. The refined tannins flank the compact, very straightforward style into a long final, in which we discover fine notes of hazelnuts. An aristocratic wine! SUPERIORE.DE

"The Pecchenino 2021 Dogliani Superiore Sirì d'Jermu is a popular expression of Dolcetto that is often found in local restaurants. It is a rich and savoury wine that goes well with a pizza with spicy sausage. The wine is characterised by ripe blackberries, soft tannins and a hint of bright acidity. The presentation is simple, but perfect for a Dolcetto." Wine Advocate

"Notes of ripe and juicy dark berries with plum skins and spices, followed by a medium body with racy tannins and lively acidity. Fresh and lively with lots of energy. A little salty on the finish. Drink now." James Suckling

"This bright red is infused with violet, cherry and raspberry flavors, plus a flash of wild herbs. Firms up on the finish, where the fruit persists and a chalky sensation lingers. Shows fine balance and length." Wine Spectator

The wine skilfully reflects the basic identifying characteristics of this distinctive variety in its primary stage. This Riesling renano (Rhine Riesling) smells wonderfully of honeycomb, pear, pineapple, flint and a fine hint of petroleum. Pleasantly streamlined mouthfeel with precise fruit and freshness and always the necessary complexity and seriousness. Very serious and independent with great drinking flow. SUPERIORE.DE

"This is floral with notes of lemon peel, lychee, dried rosemary and honey. Medium- to full-bodied, creamy and oily with crunchy acidity and ripe fruit character. Weighty and fat finish. Drink now." James Suckling

The Langhe Nebbiolo Bricco Ravera is a decidedly potent and virile wine. Juicy red cherry, smoke, leather, cedar and tobacco flow from the glass in a very emphatic, energetic way. It is a very straightforward, consistent Nebbiolo with a lot of personality. If it's not supposed to be Barbaresco or Barolo every day, this wine is a real alternative! SUPERIORE.DE

"This is very light and polished with dried strawberry, nutmeg and orange peel. Some rose undertones, too. Crisp and delicious. Don’t be put off by the light color. Drink now." James Suckling

A fascinating Pinot Nero with the structure of a Nebbiolo. Fine cherry aroma with well-dosed extract sweetness, plus rose petals, mint and some Asian herbal spice. The wine is prancing on the palate with distinguished restraint, revealing its finesse and structure at the latest with the third sip and with the medium-bodied finish. This is as much a wine for Pinot fans as it is for lovers of enigmatic, subrilegious style - and clearly love at second sight. SUPERIORE.DE

"This is fruity and vibrant with ripe raspberries and cherries as well as roselle flowers and orange peel. Medium-bodied, round and mellow with creamy tannins. Delicious. Drink now." James Suckling

In 2012, the Pecchenino family started to invest in the small but fine sparkling wine DOCG Alta Langa. The altitudes and soil conditions are ideal for fresh and fragrant sparkling wines that are not only very rare but also highly sought after internationally. Psea is named after the small village of Pezzea, where the winery's Chardonnay and Pinot Nero sites are located.

Straw yellow with copper reflections. Intense bouquet of bread crust, yeast, hazelnut and biscuits, accompanied by floral hints. Very firm and structured on the palate, creamy, fresh and of impressive persistence and length. SUPERIORE.DE

"Pecchenino's PSEA Pas Dosé is a bright and vibrant example of Alta Langa. A blend of 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir, the wine shines with bright notes of lemon, tangerine and a touch of yeast. The wine is light on the palate with vibrant acidity - a great option for an apertivo." Wine Enthusiast

"Aromas of ripe apples and pears with leafy herbs, lemon rind and bread crust. Medium-bodied with crisp acidity and a round texture. Lively and energetic with a polished, chalky finish." James Suckling

Dark garnet red with beautiful reflections. Aromas of cherry, strawberry, eucalyptus, tobacco and spices. A wonderfully balanced wine of fruit, fine acidity and polished tannin. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2019 Barolo San Giuseppe is very bright and expressive on first nose with candied orange, wild cherry, iris root and powdered licorice. The wine offers a lovely experience and stays true to a classic Nebbiolo playlist. The tannins are dry with some powdery sensations too." Wine Advocate

"Fresh raspberry with flowers and hints of tar and asphalt on the nose. Medium body, firm and silky tannins and a firm finish. Give this time to soften." James Suckling

Barolo Le Coste di Monforte from the top 2019 vintage is extremely beguiling in the glass. Rose petals, cedar wood, mint, sweet pipe tobacco and blood orange are the first flavours to open up. It is deep and complex on the palate and exceptionally beautiful and harmonious for a young Barolo. Time in the glass brings out its countless nuances. SUPERIORE.DE

"Monforte d'Alba. Brilliant medium ruby red colour with orange reflections. Concentrated, perfumed nose of red fruits, sweet cherry fruit on the palate, with a layer of sandy tannins. A beautiful wine that needs more time. It certainly has what it takes to age further." Jancis Robinson

"The 2019 Pecchenino Barolo Le Coste di Monforte displays a smoky character with campfire ash and roasted spices. At its core, the wine shows dark fruits and plums that come together to form a medium-thick texture. It has the structural dynamism of the vintage with a more open and approachable side that can be drunk over the medium term." Wine Advocate

"Tar and roses with freshly cut plums and some cherries. Medium body with racy tannins that are chewy. Juicy underneath." James Suckling

"A beam of pure cherry anchors this rich, fleshy red. Strawberry, iron, tobacco, wild thyme and rosemary flavors chime in, all supported by a line of dusty tannins." Wine Spectator

Bussia 2019 is a powerful, intense wine that shows great depth and intensity, with a powerful tannin that gives the wine its masculine, virile personality. Notes of black cherry, wood smoke, liquorice, leather, menthol, pine, scorched earth and pebbles unfold in the glass. Although it is already very expressive, it still needs some time in the bottle so that the tannins can calm down a little. Nevertheless, it is already impressive and represents the 2019 Piedmontese wine year in a great way. SUPERIORE.DE

"Quite light red; reductive, undergrowth, arouses curiosity, with aeration also raspberries, very nice; round approach, fine, then a lot, nice tannin, depth and length, very nice Barolo." (JLF) Merum

"Juicy and chewy with liquorice, sweet berries and cedar with a hint of asphalt. It is medium-bodied. Spicy on the finish." James Suckling

"When tasted about three weeks after bottling, the Pecchenino 2019 Barolo Bussia shows a beautiful ruby red colour that glows in the glass. There is a subtle note of candied cherry or fragrant rose, but once this disappears, the wine returns to characteristic Nebbiolo flavours of tar, liquorice and blood orange. Bussia offers a classic sequence of flavours, elegantly enhanced by the added intensity and concentration of the 2019 vintage." Wine Advocate
